Measurements – Size Chart

• Gauge: 12 sts = 4″.
• Finished Size: 20″ circumference by 4″ wide.

The finished size measures 20″ in circumference by 4″ wide. However, the circumference is easy to adjust to any size that you need in the stitch multiple provided.

The width, however, might be a bit trickier as you really don’t want to make this with fewer rows due to the lace. One thing you can try is switching to a thinner yarn if you’re making it for a child and need a thinner band.
